The game's designer, Gilbert Austin, wanted the game to feature a time-based night, with the clock running at a compressed scale. This would allow the player to encounter someone or overhear a conversation at a specific location at a precise moment of time. However, early on during development, Austin was told that this idea would not be used.

The voice acting for the characters 'Steve' and 'Sergeant at Arms' was provided by actor Ryan Wickerham, however for unknown reasons he was uncredited.

In 2010 Kurt Kistler, the actor who played Steve, was arrested for possession of child pornography. Oddly enough in his mugshot, taken following the arrest, he wore a flannel shirt that is strikingly similar to the one he wore during that role.

While the player cannot hurt Spots the dog in the fire station, there is an animation for Spots where he runs off-screen after the player hits him, and exists in versions with and without blood.

The Steam version of the game replaces the original disc swap screen with a new graphic depicting the game's box art on a CD. Unusually, the render does not depict a generic CD, but rather depicts a disc made by PolyGram's CD manufacturing plant in North Carolina, as indicated by the silver disc hub and "MADE IN USA" stamp. The latter specifically dates the design to 1991-1992, when the plant slowly rebranded from Philips DuPont Optical to PolyGram Manufacturing and Distribution Centers.
